Pre-requisitesAs
exemplified by a mechanical, civil, aeronautical or other “mechanical type”
engineering degree with strong structures element continued throughout.Where
a candidate has demonstrated the appropriate intellectual capability but is
deemed not to have an appropriate background in “mechanical” engineering
(i.e. those with typically an electrical engineering degree obtained at a
high level (2:1 or 1st class honours)) the pre-requisite units can
form part of a pre-qualifying year.Course AimsThe aim of the course is to give the student an
advanced theoretical grounding in one of the fundamental analytical discipline
fields of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. Other fields are ship design and ship
dynamics. Assessment Present technical
